The dead never stay buried.
Within the blink of an eye, Meaghan Torres' life has taken a sordid turn. An ordinary family visit has turned into a nightmare from which she may never wake. People are turning into zombies, eager to feast on the flesh of the unsuspecting.
Though staying alive may prove to be a tad cumbersome, it's a feat she'll make sure to accomplish by any means necessary. Her family's safety is of the utmost importance and she'll do everything possible to keep everyone together. Setting out to discover whether there are others still alive out there, she'll need to gather the limited resources available along the way.
The cause of the undead epidemic is a mystery no one has been able to decipher; one Meaghan makes it her mission to uncover. Someone has left several clues behind, but the pieces of puzzle aren't that forthcoming. Never-the-less, she's determined to seek the answers to her questions while fighting the undead in the process.
What she needs to know is just around the corner. If she's to succeed with her goals, she'll need to keep herself and those she's taken under her wing alive, at all cost. Battling the undead at every turn, Meaghan must find a way to set all wrongs to right before her life and those she loves are forfeit.

Within the dilapidated apartment complex that serves as the backdrop to our story, something far more sinister lurks. A parasitic infection, born from the shadows of unchecked scientific ambition, is transforming humans into grotesque parodies of themselves - monstrous creatures driven by primal urges and a hunger for flesh. Into this nightmare stumbles Luna, a young woman previously bound by debilitating physical limitations. But the very infection that ravages her neighbors also grants her extraordinary abilities - the power of movement and speech, a strength beyond comprehension, and a terrifying control over the very parasite that threatens to consume her. The world she once knew, confined to the confines of her own body, is shattered, replaced by a maelstrom of violence and survival. Armed with a katana - a symbol of her newfound power and defiance - Luna navigates a landscape of horror. Her journey is not merely a desperate flight from death, but a relentless struggle for control, for identity, and for survival. Her path intersects with Lucca, a fellow resident of the building, who finds unexpected strength as a reluctant ally. Together they face not only the hordes of infected monsters, but also a shadowy private scientific group that seeks to exploit Luna's unique abilities for their twisted experiments. This is a story of metamorphosis, a brutal and beautiful transformation. It is a descent into darkness, a journey through a landscape of fear and violence, where hope is a fragile flame flickering in the face of unrelenting horror. Prepare to witness the rise of a warrior, born from the ashes of despair, a heroine forged in the crucible of survival, ready to confront not just the monstrous horde, but the deepest darkness within herself. The fight for survival is only the beginning. The true battle lies within.Complete
